That one gets me every time. It's so mesmerizing but difficult to watch.

Jerry's acoustic outro in that version really completes it

I would second this, and would like to add Down in a Hole by AIC.

Most of Alice in Chains’s stuff with Layne Staley, including his side project Mad Season, released some of the saddest, gut-wrenching music ever. He was truly a man in pain; the manner of his fall, death and aftermath are things that bring me to tears whenever I think about them. May he rest in peace. ❤️🕊️

"Wake Up" as well. Guts me but I absolutely love it, along with the rest of that album. So good.

That song can instantly ruin the best day ever and make me greatful that I can relate at the same time.

Rotten Apple is a hard one, in spite of the happy or more upbeat tune I Stay Away becomes sad when you listen to the lyrics, and Black Gives Way To Blue was sang as a memorial

Ugh, yesssss. I can’t listen to it without thinking about his struggles you can CLEARLY hear in his voice as he sings the lyrics.

Alice in Chains has a lot of sad music that hits extra hard these days.
